LAFAYETTE, La. – Georgia State’s softball team was sent home from the 2018 Sun Belt Championship with a pair of close losses Thursday at Lamson Park in Lafayette, La.

Game 1: #21 Louisiana 2, GSU 1

Kinsley Jennings threw an absolute gem of a game for the Panthers against the host Ragin’ Cajuns.

Jennings took a one-hitter into the sixth inning before the No. 23 Ragin’ Cajuns got on the board. For the game, Jennings went 5.1 innings allowing just one run on three hits.

Georgia State scored first on a clutch infield single by Remington Hasty in the top of the second inning. Skylar Mosel had stole second base and then advanced to third on a wild pitch when Hasty beat out a throw from the LA shortstop.

The Ragin’ Cajuns battled back to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth.

With the score tied at 1-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Louisiana hit a groundball to the shortstop, but she was unable to get the force out at second base and the winning run came home for the Cajuns.
